Utility to resize browser window on demand?

#1

Hello,

Can anyone suggest a software utility that would allow to quickly
resize a given window to s specified size? I work on a lot of web
applications and I need to support various resolutions which leaves me
looking at my work in different resolutions. I would like to find a
utility that uses as little resources as possibel and doesn't do a
million other things. I know Firefox has a resize utlity but as an
ASP.NET developer I end up using Internet Explorer most of the time
with Visual Studio.

Freeware would be great but shareware is fine also as I don't mind
shelling out money for a quality product. Thanks for your time.

I have, on my local home page, a paragraph

<p align=center>
<a href="javascript:resizeTo(640,480)">640x480</a> |
<a href="javascript:resizeTo(800,600)">800x600</a> |
<a href="javascript:resizeTo(1024,728)">1024x768</a> |
<a href="javascript:resizeTo(1280,1024)">1280x1024</a>

and those "links" set those sizes. From any other page, it is one click
to my home page, one click to change size, and one click to return.

On that page, I also have

<BODY
onLoad="window.resizeTo(640, window.screen.height*0.9375)">

so that it only needs two clicks to get my preferred width and height.

I doubt whether one can greatly reduce the number of clicks needed.

Try as I might, I cant find anywhere on your index.htm page with that script
in. I even searched the source code. Did you post the correct URL or am I
being insane?.

He said "local homepage", i.e. the page his has his browser set to go to
when he opens it, not the homepage of this public website.

Both. You have the code in the news article; the reference is so that
you and/or the OP can, as felt appropriate, pay for the information.
The code is in my local home page, as I wrote; not the home page of me
Web site.
